Answer to Question 1

With a posttest-only control group design we do not have to worry as much about demand characteristics, experimenter effects, or practice or fatigue effects. However, because we do not use a pretest, we cannot be absolutely sure that the participants are equivalent at the beginning of the study. With the pretest/posttest control group design, we can be sure of equivalency of subjects, however we need to be more concerned about demand characteristics, experimenter effects, and practice and fatigue effects.

Answer to Question 2

True

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
